Resumen de Monitoring of load in athletes of a league of the brazilian championship
Brazil is one of the countries that most export soccer players to the World. However, there is little information in the scientific literature about the training strategies of Brazilian soccer teams. In the Brazil, external factors, such as high temperature and humidity, may decrease the physical performance and in the external load during training and matches. External load monitoring allows better training adjustments to improve performance and prevent injury. When soccer players performed actions in high intensity, it was observed that those with a greater chronic workload have a lower risk of injury compared to athletes with lower chronic load. Factors such as tactical function, position and characteristics of athletes should be considered for individualized analysis of external load. Thus, the volume, intensity and mechanical load of training based on the individual value average of the matches, that the athlete played for at least 90min, allows to consider these factors.
This monitoring model based on individual match references may facilitate the coaching staff to an objective understanding of the daily training load, inter- and intra-position comparisons and specific analyses of training activities.
